The changes in style of since the adoption of
General Uptons tactics has made it difficult for Off
GERS to teach with uniformity. The many nooted
points have been a source of and the
of much hard study by the ambitious militia officer.
Lieutenant Reed, Of the United States Army has is
sued third edition of his tactics which should be in
the hands of every miltaman. Uptons tactics treat
of double formation almost exclusively giving
little information to single rank which is the
